@zxguesser.bsky.social I love the artwork, but I'm just getting this in before you mwahahahahaaaa
Stop getting teletext wrong!

Saturday on the BBC apparently. What a terrific songwriter. What a cool bit of advertising! What a shame I'll be in London and I'll miss it 🤣
Ah man, this looks fabulous; a whole night of @paulheatonsolo.bsky.social. The opening of Hugh on the bike in London 0 Hull 4 is worth the ticket price alone.
Mistigram: @pixelblip.bsky.social contemplated painting his #graffiti tag on a supermarket when its parking lot was filled with uncollected trash during the Covid shutdown. (To play it safe, he just drew it in #teletext.) This screen was included in the MIST0820 artpack released six years ago.
I used to be a #Ceefax junkie until it was killed off... Now I can re live those heady days! nmsceefax.co.uk
Something else I've been quietly building is a gallery of stills from adverts and television shows that reference Teletext, I've only started this in the past few months so it's quite small so far
Petition to bring back teletext transfers. Sick of hearing about Bruno, will he, won't he? Somone wake me up for the Liverpool game #NUFC

And here's the teletext art I made for my totally-jumping-on-the-bandwagon video inspired by The Odyssey 😜 (also available on Nemetext p172, which is an intentional nod to the runtime in minutes...yes, I'm that pedantically geeky sometimes 🤣) #Odyssey #TheOdyssey #ChristopherNolan #CRT #Teletext
Fancy seeing what was in the top 10 charts as seen on Teletext #OnThisDay in 1995 in which Take That Never Forget, Seal had a Kiss From A Rose, Supergrass was Alright and Edwyn Collins wanted A Girl Like You. #90s #Ceefax (Captured by A. Buxton)
I'm probably unreliable because when me and my wee brother were kids, we thought the ceefax map of Ireland looked like Martin Auden who owned a local corner shop. Looking at it now, he didn't really, a bit maybe

Count Binface made a Ceefax radio show that aired on the BBC in 2025. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
BBC Radio 4 - Illuminated, Ceefax Strikes Back... with Count Binface
Count Binface resurrects the mighty Ceefax. With one small hitch. It’s on the radio.

That's the one! A lot of teletext artists don't like them/can't figure them out, but I tend to go mad and use them in everything 😄
Even though half of the channels come up with some kind of connected TV cookies notice, majority of the German channels still have teletext. If it ain’t broke. Other point, Comedy Central Germany’s output is in English. Go figure, can’t change the language setting either.
Last day of my holiday today in 🇮🇹, the house we’re staying at has mostly German TV channels, which means only one thing… TELETEXT.
Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan
Whoa, dunno why but that just sent me back to the days of Teletext. I checked it a few years back and the NSFW channels were hilariously cheesy with the kinds of messages people were still putting there.
🟩 CEEFAX | An edition of Tomorrow's World from 1994, with Ceefax on display in the background. With Fastext links being shown at the top of the screen. Most irregular.
I’m a huge fan of Nathan, who has already fulfilled a key plank of the @countbinface.bsky.social manifesto. nmsceefax.co.uk#id=WyJubXMtY...

Absolutely no apologies, it was well deserved. I just threw something together at the (literally) last minute while sweating in the lounge.
A 99 Croissant with Flake, joint 1st in the #teletext competition at @field-fx.party over the weekend! Oddly enough, both of those pieces relate to @countbinface.bsky.social... demozoo.org/parties/5538... #pixelart #ceefax #1bit #videotext #croissant #binface #teletexto #Flake #textmode
Mistigram: to cleanse the palate of AI discourse, here's a monochrome #teletext statement by @pixelblip.bsky.social (which you can interpret for yourself) about #NFT art included in the MIST0721 artpack collection released five years ago this month.
Heading to Clacton to support their leader and bring back Ceefax
A very happy Commonwealth Games to all (two) of you who celebrate!
